A number of 9th corps soldiers, on Il re-
tent visit to the Virginia battle fields,
were astonished to find that the spot ON
which General Sedgwick fell, at Spottsyl-
vania, is wholly without stone or tablet to
designate it. Returning to Philadelphia,
they called number of their associates
together, and it was then determined that
some proper and inexpensive memorial
stone should he constructed, and at Il very
early day placed upon the ground that
grand old hero made sacred by his fall
The result was the formation of an or
ganization for the purpose of securing the
ground,aud erecting aud dedicating such
u tablet.
1t is not intended to construct an eXpen-
sive monumental memorial that the 9th
corps long since did in placing the hand
some bronze statue of Sedgwick, on the
West Point parade ground but it is de
signed to purchase from the Alsop Farm
a little less than an acre of ground, to
erect a neat and appropriate stone tablet,
some eight feet high and five feet square
at the base, properly inscribed, and to en-
close it with suitable guard or railing
This, it is ascertained, can be accomplish
ed for the sum of about $4,000
1t is proposed to have the stone in place,
ready for dedication, on the 23d anniver-
sary of General Sedgwick's death, the 9th
of May next. The officers of the association,
James w. Latta. president, 436 Walnut
street, and John Rogers, secretary, 416
Walnut street, Philadelphia, have issued
a circular in which they solicit the aid of
the soldiers of the 9th CORPS and add ::
Subscriptions may he made in any amount
however small-a dollar or less. If all
the survivors of that corps, which,
as history now begins fairly to write
of its deeds, may be justly rated
as the "Old Guard" of the Army of
the Potomac, can be reached, the cOntri-
buttons of each need be so small as to be
within the means of every one of us.
The thoughts that first inspired those
who discovered the neglect of this historic
spot, was that the generation of the
American volunteers, whose valor saved
the nation, owed duty to their chieftains
to mark the spot where they fell in actual
battle, that their memories may be pre-
served as long as stone or tablet can per
petuate them. 1t is confidently believed
that the same like sense of duty inspires
all the soldiers who at any time fought
marched and bvouacked under the ban
ner of the famous 9th corps cross.
Major-General II. G.. Wright, General
Sedgwick's most worthy and respected
successor. has communicated to the asso-
citation his hearty sympathy with the
measure, and has rendered his personal
aid ana influence.
Remittances may be made to David
Ginther, treasurer, No. POI South Fourth
street, Philadelphia All subscribers will

,From the Rural Nermanter.J

"Hark, from the tombs doleful sound. -
One "Montpelierite" in the Waterman
has let out howl of anguish as though
some one had trod on the tail of his tobog-
gan suit and because he has not had a
special invitation to honor Burlington
with his presence during the carnival, or
been assigned a special car and an escort
to glorify his progress to the Queen City's
week of sports. He either does not know
of the exchange of courtesies between the
coasting clubs of Burlington and Montpel-
ier, or, through local prejudice or per
sonal spite, he wilfully ignores the fact
There Is no just cause of complaint of any
lack of recognition" from those promi-
nent in Burlington's carnival arrange
ments. The coasting club received very
courteous and cordial invitation to attend
the carnival, aud it was responded to in
the spirit in which it was extended, and
reasons given for the necessity of declin
ing. There is no doubt that if the other
sporting clubs had braced up and made
arrangements Join in the sports at Bur
lington, that they would have been well
received

VALUABLE MAUD :.
"A Horse that no Money can buy why Mr.
Vanderbilt Sold Her

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Frank Siddalls of
Philadelphia recently offered Robert Bon
ner 100000 for Maud s., but the offer was
declined. Mr. Siddalls then offered 1925,
600 which was refused Mr.. Bonner said
yesterday If anybody were TO offer me
5000, 600 or 1900, 900 for Maud S it would be
all the same. There are some things we
do not part with for money, and Maud :.
is one of them. Mr.. Vanderbilt felt the
same way about her, and never was more
surprised in my life than when he offered
her to me. The $4,000 | gave him for her
was no more to him than 10 cents would
be to most men. The reason he sold her
was because his eye-sight grew dim and
he could not see his horses when he drove
them. Mr.. Vanderbilt knew had some
good horses and that took good care of
them and he wanted her placed with me
because he wanted her well cared for 1t
was her comfort he was looking for, that
